Heading For The City inspiration !

Post by alan1958 »

The brilliant Heading For The City from Dancing Down The Stony Road has a small bit of Debussy at the intro , but Chris builds the song from the jazz classic "So What " by Miles Davis ....it is just a couple of chords , and the song eventually goes it's own way , so I think this was CR's way of letting people know that he was getting serious about his music ....NO MORE POP STUFF ...this is Miles Davis i'm playing here ! :shock: :shock:
here is the link to the original;
